Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper - Firms, Phones & Websites

What does Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper do?

Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper exports the office directory of Find a Solicitor, The Law Society's free search of legal services in England and Wales. One row is one solicitors' office: the firm or office name, the full postal address split into street, town and postcode, the telephone number, the website, how many Law Society accreditations the office shows, and whether it takes enquiries through the directory. Law firm marketers, legal-tech sales teams, recruiters and researchers use it to build lists of solicitors by town or postcode.

• Every office in the directory — 33,246 offices listed on 16 October 2026, 31,341 of them with an address, phone or website; the whole export takes about 40 minutes, or take any slice of it.
• Search by town, postcode district, full postcode or firm name — "Manchester", "M1", "DE24 0DW", "slater gordon".
• Ready-to-dial phones — as listed and in E.164 (+44…) form; website domain split out for enrichment.
• Clean location fields — street, town, postcode, postcode district and country parsed from each address.
• Filters you only pay after — phone only, website only, takes enquiries, accredited only, England & Wales / UK / overseas.
• Monitor mode — schedule it and receive only offices that were not delivered before.
• No login, no API key, no cookies of yours. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or connect via API, Make, Zapier and n8n.

Search by postcode when a town has a Welsh or district name

The town is the line printed before the postcode, as the office listed it. Some Welsh offices print the Welsh name ("Caerdydd" for Cardiff), and London offices print "London" rather than the borough. A postcode district ("CF10", "E14") or area ("CF") catches every office in it whatever the town line says.

Name searches match whole words

"slater gordon" finds "Slater and Gordon UK Limited" and "Slater and Gordon Lawyers"; "slater" alone also finds "Slater Heelis". Words are matched from their start, so "irwin" finds "Irwin Mitchell" but "rwin" finds nothing.

Leave every search field empty to export the whole directory

With no locations, names or ids, the actor walks every office listed in the directory's office sitemap in id order. Set maxItems to 0 for all of them.

Limits & empty runs

• What a row contains: what the directory's office listing shows — name, address, phone, website, accreditation count and the enquiry option. Email addresses, SRA numbers, areas of practice, accreditation names, languages and the people at each office are on the office's own page, which this actor does not read.
• Speed: 20 offices per directory page, three pages at a time — about 14-21 offices a second; the whole directory in about 40 minutes.
• Location and name searches read only the offices that can match, chosen from an office index bundled with the actor (built 16 October 2026) plus every office opened since; each office is re-checked against your search on its live listing. An office that moved into your area after the index date is found with Full scan on.
• Offices listed with a name only (1,905 of 33,246 — mostly overseas and in-house entities with no address, phone or website) are skipped and never charged; their ids are in the run's RUN_SUMMARY.
• An empty run means no office matched: check the spelling, or search by postcode district. Nothing is charged for an empty run.

Can Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper search by area of law?

No. The directory's area-of-law search is not part of the office listing this actor reads. Search by town, postcode or firm name, and use accreditedOnly to keep offices with a Law Society accreditation.

Does Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper return email addresses?

No. The office listing has no email address; offices that take enquiries are flagged with acceptsEnquiries, and website / websiteDomain give you the route to the firm's own contact page.

Can I run Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper on a schedule?

Yes. Turn on monitorMode and add a schedule in Apify: each run delivers only offices that earlier runs of the same search did not.

Can I use Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper with the Apify API?

Yes. Start a run with your input and read the dataset through the Apify API or the apify-client library for Python and JavaScript.

Can I use Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper through an MCP server?

Yes. Apify's MCP server exposes the actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients.

Do I need a login or an API key for Find a Solicitor?

No. The actor reads the public directory; you only need an Apify account.

Why did my Law Society Find a Solicitor Scraper run return no results?

No office matched the search. Town names must be the town on the address ("Newcastle" matches "Newcastle Upon Tyne"); a postcode district always works. If the directory itself refused the connection, the run says so and charges nothing.
